Apperantly the thread I used to root my phone with has been closed, I read a few pages...not really sure why but I think I read a post were it was deemed unstable or something. Any who, read up on this and only do it if the phone is a MF3 version. And before you get too far ahead of yourself with your buddied phone, make sure you read, read and read some more...there is a lot of stuff out there that isn't compatible with all gs4's (roms etc). Know what version your phone is and know what it can run and what it can't.

What can I say, sometimes I like being a douche. But looking at your next comment it sounds like you didn't do enough research. There's 2 threads here covering rooting for mf3 and pre mf3 both of which can be found by searching. If you had bothered to read the faq or even answer the other guys post, you may have been warned that you can't flash the mf3 rom with Odin and will brick yourself. All you can do with mf3 right now is root and SS. It sounds like you're jammed up, maybe I'm wrong, which I hope I am, but I didn't ask a single question when it came to rooting because the info was easily found.

Well I just did a random Google search with your version and I quickly found this. I'm not sure if your phone is ok with what you did but I'm guessing this method should have been the one you should have used, maybe I'm wrong.

Hey for some reason doing the vol up method isn't working but app called quick boot did the trick...

not used to having alot of versions for a phone but how would i know which roms worked wit the i337m?

nvm ill just flash golden eye

but what does it mean by I337M USERS MAY EXPERIENCE DATA DROPS! - 4.3TW Baseband Needed!

and how would you wipe my phone clean then if i don't use twrp?

"never choose to wipe data with twrp!! the option where you type *yes* to confirm!!"

and if i can't find a 4.3 kernal for my phoen does that mean i can't flash that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nash2000:
Like I said, I'm completely unfamiliar with your model. This of us running MF3 are limited to what we can use (no custom recovery for us). Each ROM you look at should have detailed instructions on how to flash. If your going to try GoldenEye do your self a favor and read the first few pages and last few pages (at least) for feedback and bugs. Maybe someone else can chime in that has the same version.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Theoriginalgiga:
Ok, I've done some searching for you and here's some of the information I think you'll need.

All of this info is based on me searching on the I337M MG1 ROM. If this is incorrect, let me know and I'll see what else I can find.

All these are assuming you can get into download mode and might be able to use ODIN to flash back to stock. Also any and ALL data on the phone, kiss goodbye as I'm sure most of these procedures will wipe your phone clean. Lastly these are just suggestions and what I would do, I take no responsibility if you screw your friend's phone up even more. You're doing this at your own risk.

1) flash stock ROM:

here's a list of the stock roms READ THE THREAD FOR YOUR ANSWERS ON HOW TO INSTALL IT.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2269304

IF you were able to get the phone back working on a stock rom.

2) Root (READ EVERY SINGLE POST, THEN READ THEM AGAIN. Once you feel you understand what they're telling you to do, read ALL the posts again, and once more for good measure and while you're rooting, leave the window open so you can reference it.)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293800

3) install TWRP. This is easy, but as I'm not familiar with the device here's someone else who's done it and what seemed to work for them.

here's a post of someone asking a question and the responses:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46038092&highlight=twrp#post46038092

here's another post on how someone installed TWRP:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44010460&highlight=twrp#post44010460

4) install a custom ROM: This one is tricky, you'll need to READ the entirety of the first couple of posts in EACH ROMs thread. Then search the thread for your model number (I337M if I'm not mistaken) as someone has asked if they can install the ROM already and it should be answered.

If you're successful your friend's phone should be working. Lastly, before you root/flash/ROM your friend's phone, know the phone, know the community and know the search and you'll do great.

I hope this helps.

Good work with the write up, I havent seen any activity from him since lastnight...he also started a "bricked" thread. Most ppl from time to time will get lazy or not exhuast all known avenues before posting threads but everyone should at least know what they have for a phone and what it can and can not do. This is just my opinion. This isn't to say the op was lazy in his search, maybe he did all he could do...I just wished folks would read the Roms etc to make sure they are compaditble.

Hi guys. I am a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S4. I run the stock rom 4.3 rooted and don't use any launcher. I am overall very happy with TouchWiz and don't see why most people hate it. Anyway, somehow I feel that I don't take a full advantage of the phone. I use it to listen music, the calendar for events and tasks, playing some racing games, use some widgets for a quick info, watching videos on youtube, taking quick notes. I should say that I find most of the s apps useful, don't know why so many people are hating them. What is the reason? Also I will be interested in how you are using your s4
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
I truly dont understand the touchwiz hate either ... especially for those who have galaxy s line phones before ... If you don't like it why you bought it? Still touch wiz is a heavy skin but I don't actually feel that the phone is slow ... It s just feels slower than nexus and htc one because of its animations not because it's actually slow ... Still If your phone does without problems those things you expect it to do every day them you are using it effectively ... There is no reason of getting to take advantage all of its features of you don't actually need them
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bill1clinton:
Speaking just for myself, I do not necessary dislike Touchwiz. However, I do not like the fact that through Touchwiz, Samsung has forced upon myself a myriad of what I (and many others) consider, bloatware. All the bloatware causes the device to function slower and be more laggy. Case and point, I had 4.2.2 on my S4 with most bloatware removed and it was snappy and responsive. I recently flashed 4.3 and it was sluggish to say the least. Then I proceeded to remove all the bloatware and after such, my device restore to the same level of snappiness.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuser1337:
What I suggest is to play around with camera. Just try every mode and know how it works and how to use it properly so you can get the best out of camera at the proper time in future.

Secondly get some nice HD games, Like Asphalt 8 (It is now free), Call of duty etc.

and if you like the multiplayer madness, I'd suggest Shadowgun:deadzone, Respawnables, Modern Combat 4 etc.

I'm planning to make a thread for making a clan/group of S4 users and rule one of those best multiplayer games.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
I use my S4 for listening to music (emphasis on this haha), use the camera a lot, play some games, watch some videos and as a "media controller/server" (along with my other two tablets and TV). Also I navigate in the internet a lot and use Tapatalk a lot too. I have dual-booted it, so I have all the benefits from TW on it and when I get bored I can go back to AOSP, which is another ROM I really like. I owned a X10 Mini Pro before S4, so I didn't really know what was a fast phone. But I had a Motorola Xoom, so that was my comparing parameter, and as I was used to AOSP on it I felt the need of installing on S4 too. And by the same time I got a S4 I got a Nexus 10, so AOSP was even better for me by then!

It was just a matter of opinion, I really like the AOSP ROM, as it comes with almost zero things and is way lighter than TW, but if you're happy with TW you should have no worries on keeping it. Here's a small pros and cons by me:

Hope this helps ;).

Oh! I want to enter that clan!! I'm a monster on MC4 hehe (I'm Brigadier General, I'm just lazy of playing more to level up :P)... And also on Asphalt 7 (I'm not THAT good on 8) and play a little of Shadowgun Deadzone too lol. Tell me more about this group when you manage to create it hahaha!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I'm on the TW bandwagon.

What I like:

- Native Facebook syncing,

- AirView handy for quick previews on emails and SMS,

- AirView in stock music player, hover over to see full titles, hover over previous and forward to see track,

- Adapt Sound - makes music louder, also in the phone app, 4 different options, and a button to make it even louder in very noisy situations, useful,

- Camera, many modes and options, unlike AOSP, Samsung & HTC etc implement burst mode, useful,

- S Planner - I like it, better than AOSP Calender, again ties in with native Facebook syncing, when it's mates birthday S Planner allows me to post on their walls,

- Notification toggles, AOSP you have to 2 finger slide for toggles, TW is always their and useful, built in natively yes there are apps that can replicate this,

- Not a TW thing but IR, useful, like having one remote for all your devices, pair it with Smart IR app and you've got a harmony all in one plus more,

- Gestures, I use the quick wave over the phone to see time and if I have had any notifications, and also the call one were you can wave your hand to answer, useful when my hands are dirty etc,

Some features are useful and having somethings built in natively is also useful.

Thing's I don't like:

- The look, it's dated and needs a revamp, Samsung have said they are going to focus on software so things can only improve,

- Not as smooth or fast as AOSP, again due to the bloatware etc but it's not bad at all, Nexus devices are fantastic and feel fast and fluid in comparison, hopefully 4.4 will improve on things,

Other than that I am still happy with my S4 rooted running Omega 4.3. I had the N5 but kept my S4 as I couldn't see the point in changing so soon, may as well wait until next year and see what else crops up and hopefully further software updates improve on the user experience further more.

Hey... I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) with 4.3 firmware..

I rooted it just a while ago with no custom flash rom or anything.. just a simple root.

Now you all might be aware that samsung s4 has this thing for security called Knox.

I was trying to use SuperUser and it got blocked. Well eventually i used it to grant permission to Game Hacker. But for some reason it kept popping up and repeating " Root access granted" like it was being blocked and released again and again.

My question is, Is Knox blocking my attempts to give root access to apps? is there anyway i could bypass this so called Knox?

P.s: i dunno if i set the eFuse off. anyway i could check if i have voided my warranty?

Hi Guys!

I have a quick question. I just flashed the CM11 and was wondering what free space I should have left? I read that Kit Kat is supposed to run well on devices with less ram but it seems like it takes up more then normal. Should I be worried?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
Can't say how much ram you should have. As apps and system processes are loaded into memory, your free ram will sink big time. But, that's how android is supposed to work. Meaning how much free ram should be available is not a question that can really be answered. ;)
[About XDA developers] Jaapp:
Good day XDA folks,

Let me start this thread by saying that I very much appreciate the great things made on XDA, keep up the good work, awesome community!:good:

I also want to say that I like the construction of this site in general: not bad, not bad at all... But there is one thing bothering me for some time now, and that thing just crossed the line:

What the **** is wrong with the search functions.

Really, I understand it might be hard to implement a good search function, but XDA has over 5 million members and I feel that a website with that many users has to meet certain standards. The search functions, however, are extremely lacking.

Let me give a few examples of this:

Do you know how, in the "you're a noob"-video of XDA, is mentioned that you have to search for already created threads before making a new one? I did that for this thread by searching the obvious term 'search' in the About xda-developers.com subforum. The amount of relevant results was mind-boggling low: of all 25 items on the first results page, there was one single thread with 'search' in it's title, and this hit was the two-but-last result. I have experienced this sort of search feature incompetence multiple times already, it happens in all subforums, even the very straight forward searches wouldn't give the result I desired.

OK, that's one thing, but only this kind of issue still isn't enough for me to create a thread about this: yes that's right, there's more, something worse. I wanted to go to my device's forum today so I searched for "xperia s" like i always do. Yes this always worked as expected, but not today, so I try to be more specific, I search "sony xperia s" but no, still no hit. Then I got a bit frustrated and typed the exact name of my mobile phone with quotation marks: ""Sony Xperia S"" and a decent-sized list of Xperia devices appeared below the searchbar, BUT IT DIDN'T INCLUDE XPERIA S. I tried other searches but no matter what I wouldn't be able to navigate to the Xperia S forums through the device search function. I have never used such a bad search function before and it makes me rage. So please, XDA, please tell me this is a bug, that it's going to improve, that this isn't supposed to happen.

Dear XDA-devs,

Fix pl0x.

And keep being awesome,

Cheers.
[About XDA developers] xsenman:
First this would be best addressed by Admins their contacts

just to advice you concerning how search works on XDA, from MY experience

when using " Device search" , just type x you would get a drop down menu based on that letter , imputing the other letters to form xperia would decrease the contents of the drop down menu , say you complete the word "xperia" the available devices will now be listed and from what I note , your device is not listed.

so its now best to quit that search and use the "All Forums search", now when I type xperia s. I also get a drop down menu with a number of items for xperia S, which you can select according to your choosing.

so its working better than before but not under device search but under all forums search. :D

[About XDA developers] SimonTS:
To be honest, I rarely use XDA's search function. I find it far easier to use Google and start the search string with "site:xdaforums.com" followed by what I actually want to search for.

Normally far quicker and far more accurate than XDA's search tool, and far less likely to be down when you most need it.
